Author Topic: Save files lost to crash...  (Read 2925 times)

Recently the hard drive in my laptop bit the dust, and I lost all my save files.  The site I used for data backup somehow lost or ruined most of the files.  (Whatever you do, don't use mediamax for a backup service) 

I only really care about 3 of them, and someone, somewhere must have one of these.  At some point I had been running all of them on servers for weeks on end.

The ski slope - My first build

The Chunnel:


The Desert DM:  Preferably from the second update (shown here) or even better if you got my stadium (or part of it)


Anyone who can help please post the saves here, or PM me.

(If this belongs in another topic, sorry, feel free to move it)

I used to have Chunnel D:

Looks like you whipped most of that up with the duplicator in about 5 minutes.  Surely it can't be that big of a deal to duplicate those builds.

Trader:
Surely you're not thick-headed enough to think that I had built these with the duplicator.  I built all of these without ever using it,  and before it was even released. (one I even built without macros).  Also, the original save files would save me a lot of work, plus I could never remake one of these the same way I had originally built it.  But clearly you are to busy being a jerk to give a guy 2 seconds of sympathy.

Packer :
Ah, well thats ok, glad to see you still play...

Use of the duplicator does not a poor builder make.  If you're making builds that have a lot of repetitive stuff (as the builds in your pictures clearly do) it makes sense to use it.  I'm not here to baby you.  If you want sympathy, start printing our screenshots of your saves and getting your mommy to hang them on the fridge.  If you want to make build like that without using the duplicator, you're only making things harder on yourself.  Also, a CD or flash drive would make much more sense for backups of small files like that.  You're whining about some of the least epic builds in Blockland.  Get over yourself.

P.S. PMing me a link so that I'll view your pseudo-insult is lame.  Don't waste my time.

Trader you've just proven your Blockland n00bness, that's a real shame.

:O, Trader = Gud scripter

Lol, everyone keeps trying to "catch me in the act" of proving my nubness.  It's not going to happen.  Everything I said in my posts is sound.  Don't worry, I'll let you know if and when I fall from grace.

You can rebuild all of those in an afternoon of hardcore blocklanding - none of those builds have intricate designs, and you've got the majority of the builds pictured. Get your act together and rebuild them.

It will take you a considerably shorter time now that you know about the Duplicator.

What the panda.....you have the save for your ski slope on your website! Just for your information, thats one down, two to go.

Rofl... I totally forgot about that save on my site.

Yeah, I was just hoping I could get the originals to save some time, but it seems the duplicator will help alot... although it feels somehow like cheating.   Also, I never got screens from the stadium, which is where I put the most work in, but I'll get by.

Well, I guess I'll lock the topic, since clearly no one on the forums has them.  Just PM me if you find one lurking in your save folder.

So using the duplicator is cheating but taking them from your friends isn't?

No, I meant using the duplicator to create a new build would feel like cheating.  (I must have worded it funny)  I was asking for save files from builds I had already created, but lost.
